[Opinions] Aurelia & Griffin
I've started liking Aurelia more and more lately, what do you think?as for Griffin;
I've been trying to come up with a name to honor a family member, whichout having to use a name I hate, and she hated as well. my last name (which was also her last name) is utterly unusable as a middle or first name, far too long. though my grandmothers maiden name is Griffin. and I figured, well, it's a way. and it isn't awful.

Love Aurelia. It's quite gorgeous. There's a preschooler of this name at the children's centre where I work, and it is lovely on her.There is also a Griffin at the children's centre whose mom shortens it to Finny. I hate the sound of Finny and now Griffin will always make me think of it. Other than that, it reminds me of THe Family Guy or of Harry Potter's Griffendore.

They're both lovely. Griffin had a vogue on here some time ago, but that doesn't seem to have transferred to real life which is nice. It's soft but also handsome, like Morgan.

Aurelia is gorgeous, but I dislike Griffin. If it's to honour your grandmother, I could tollerate it as a middle name.

I like Aurelia, just can't see it on a baby for some reason.
Griffin is ok, but nms.

I love Aurelia (partially because I was once part of a musical project name Aurelia Aurita after the moon jellyfish) ... Griffin is not one of my favorites, but I think it's a perfectly alright name. Good name for honoring a family member, too.

Aurelia is exotic and beautiful.Griffin is interesting. It could grow on me. My mind ultimately thinks of the mythical bird (which is not such a bad thing).
